Default unstable???

I test flew one of these once. It was kinda unstable. The problem i noticed was once the plane started to stall the ailerons would become unaffective. Then once they have good air going over them again it would over correct it. If the plane starts to tip stall. Couple in alittle rudder with it and it will fly right out. DO NOT GET TOO MUCH RUDDER IN IT, or it will snap the opposite way it is stalling. I also have a midwest version. Its as gentle as can be. I would recomend that plane to anyone who likes decathlons or citabrias! They are wonderful airplanes! I wish you all luck and remember on takeoffs and landings better too fast, than too slow.
